Worth Waiting For - Sane Sex for Singles In Worth Waiting For - Sane Sex for Singles, singles of all ages are invited to set an intention for how they
would like to experience physical intimacy when dating. The approach is not a religious or moral one; this is not
another abstinence message. Rather, the book examines today's dating model and why it's not working and how dating can
be approached in a way that would be more physically and emotionally fulfilling. Singles are encouraged to not settle
just for safe sex, but instead to strive for sane sex, which results naturally when emotional intimacy is achieved
before becoming physically intimate. Sane sex happens in the context of an exclusive, loving relationship.

This book is something you should read now, before you get to the point in a relationship where a physical intimacy decision is necessary. Think of it as an investment in your future... since it is. I want ALL my singles who meet to have happy endings. The right kind, that is." Love Dr Dave, "Calculated Couples" Founder This book is incredible as it updates one's files around dating and sex in the 21st century and gives insight to this culture we are experiencing. It brings clarity to words and expressions used sometimes that certainly mean something different than intended. I am very impressed with the consciousness and research around a rather sensitive subject. This book has helped me with the cultural changes around sex. I applaud the courage and honesty of this very timely and worthy project. Rev. Lei Lanni A.
